Wonderful thoughtful hosts. More than average amenities. They thought of all the little things to make our stay comfortable. Very cute little cottage and great location for our purposes. Definitely need a car though. Really good food at the pub and convenient to have a little store right next door.

This converted village Post Office is absolutely lovely in an ideal location for visiting Rutland. Every need is catered for and the welcoming chocolates were a bonus. Alan and Lynn are perfect hosts. It was our first visit and we hope it won’t be our last. V&L July 2024

Superb Cottage
The outside of the property is very old like most of the village, but inside it is ultra modern with every possible convenience. My wife and I found the handles on the side of the front and rear entrance and exit particularly useful. The home baked shortbread left for guest's is to die for. A beautiful village, shop next door and a pub serving meals around the corner. Sit out in the garden early morning or after a days exploring. Full marks to Alan & Lynne, we loved it.

It was the second time we stayed in this property and it won't be the last. In a lovely village with a great pub not far away that serves amazing food. Easy access and parking with lovely hosts who live next door. Location that's perfect for visiting all of the towns and villages that Rutland has to offer. We will definitely return in the future.

Absolutely lovely
The cottage was homely and very comfortable. Good instructions for entry and a lovely welcome letter explaining all we needed to know. The cottage was immaculate. Beds very comfortable and all the facilities you need. Lots of handy leaflets about where to visit and local eateries. We highly recommend the pub around the corner, the food is great and the welcome warm and friendly, even a quiz on Thursday night.

The bungalow is well appointed, clean and comfortable. The owners are friendly and helpful. The only downside is no off-street parking, but this is not usually a problem. The road and pub nearby are not noisy. The shop is very handy too.

Advise summer use only
The property was lovely, it had everything you need and was well equipped. However only supplied with one towel each so had no option but to put the washer on. As the property was very cold, this made it difficult to dry the washing. We asked for the heating to be turned up but we’re told to put a jumper on and I was told to wrap my husband in an electric blanket! It was just unacceptable for us so we had to leave mid week and come home to a warm house. Would be great to stay in the summer!
